NEW AUTOMATED SELF-PAY OPTIONS FROM 3M LIBRARY SYSTEMS
“This is a logical extension of 3M’s automated services for libraries,” said Rory Yanchek, business manager, 3M Library Systems. “Integrating self-pay capability with self-service encourages on-time returns and improves circulation, while freeing library personnel to be more productive. It also helps make revenue collection from fines and fees substantially more efficient.” 3M Library Systems will offer a “basic” fines and fees self-pay option that allows for payment with credit or debit card, and a “flexible” option that adds a cash payment alternative, along with credit and debit cards. The flexible option includes an automated payment machine that accepts paper currency and change. 3M SelfCheck Systems, introduced in 1992, pioneered the field of automated library collection management and circulation functions. 3M SelfCheck Systems employ radio frequency identification technology and/or bar codes to process the checkout and return of collection items. For highest material security, 3M offers its Tattle-Tape Security Strip technology.
